Long term monitoring on the Seine estuary Plume (Balise A) ETM (Fatouville & Tancarville) Fluvial (Val des leux & Rouen) 5 Stations Along the Seine estuary:
Long term monitoring on the Seine estuary Instrument: YSI 6600V2 1 measurement every 5mns Sensors: 0-1000NTU (fluvial part) or 0-4000NTU (ETM & plume) Turbidity sensor: 0-1000NTU or 0-4000NTU Depth : 1m above the water surface using buoy (fluvial part) and 1m over the seabed (ETM and plume) Validated data : between 85 and 90%
Objective Objective: Measuring sediment fluxes using SYNAPSES data (and associated standard deviation). Topic: NTU vs SPM concentration Sampling strategy Measurements from piers (~ 50 days achieved): Mainly under Spring tides (between 6.35 et 7,05m) conditions. Vertical Profiles every 15’ › CTD Seabird 19plusV2 probe associated with an OBS3+ (2Hz) › YSI 6600V2 multi-parameter probe (1Hz) › LISST 100X-C (Laser In-Situ Scattering and Transmissometry) (1Hz) Coupled with water samples (every hour): 1 meter depth and 1m above the bed Assess current velocity from an ADCP (RDI Workhorse Sentinel 600kHz)

Work in progress/next step Lessons learned Acceptability vs time? Each sensor need an accurate standardized calibration, Seine estuary: slope ranging between « 1 and 5 » => need to take into account this variability to estimate sedimentary fluxes. Turbidity vs SPM: Site specific and significant variations during the year (seasonal effect). Work in progress/next step Need to integrate SPM caracteristics: grain size (LISST) data and organic mater. Statistical analysis to deeply decipher the influence of each parameter Lab experiment (sensor response).
